I'm surprised at how accurate you summarized both sides of the equation.

This was the first such partnership / project, and I learned a lot from working with you! About myself, about entrepreneurship, about team work, about side projects.

Thank you for all that time!

I honestly believe that BookWiz is a good product, that has a differentiator. I'll always be rooting for it ❤️

Indeed, it was a great ride with tons of lessons.

I am happy I shared this ride with you. Taught me a lot about myself and how to be a better partner next time.

Hope to see you on a new venture soon :)

Thank you for sharing this story!

I bet it wasn’t easy.

I’m currently starting up a project with a friend too, and I’ll keep your learnings well in mind.

Good luck to BookWiz! 🤞

I hope you’ll share more along the way

Indeed it wasn't easy.

Alex Hormozi said somewhere something along the lines:

"Don't write about your life when things are going good. Do it when things are bad, so you can later read and remember where you came from and what you overcame"

Good for you! I would love to know more about your project and partnership.

And you can count on it! I will share all that I have :)

I think changing ideas quickly is better than spending time developing something only to realize it wasn't good enough. Working in a team is difficult but rewarding once you find the right team and the right communication. Keep sharing, I'm sure you'll nail it!

I am with you.

It's a hard game to know when to quit on an idea ånd move on to the next, but it's probably better to quit too soon than too late.

Yup, it's hard to find a suitable team and takes its mental toll, but I'll find the right one eventually.

Thank you Karina for joining my journey :)

Thanks for sharing your story Orel! These projects are always very difficult, and there are going to be a ton of lessons along the way that help you be successful! The first idea is never where the product lands. Every big tech company is a great example of becoming something different over time. Building products is hard, and side projects are also very difficult. Good luck!

It is very hard.

We pivoted the product already before, and it was a great pivot!

The lessons don't stop, and I love it.

It's a journey in which every day you learn something new.
